That's One Terrified Squirrel!

This past week, we got about seven inches of snow and with freezing temperatures, the roads have been pretty bad. As my mom and I were headed to lunch today, we were approaching a stop sign and a little squirrel started running across the road. The roads were very slick and hitting the breaks to miss a squirrel was not an option. Apparently, this little squirrel knew that white roads means that big objects (cars) are even more scary than usual. This squirrels little legs went into hyper speed. He ran so fast across the road, that when he got to the "tree of safety", he grabbed ahold of it and his back legs swung behind him. He almost flew off of the tree. It was seriously the funniest thing we had seen in a long time.

I Love the Rain!

This is my kind of weather!!! When the clouds go grey and the lightning and thunder start up! I love the smell of the rain as it falls and how clean everything looks when it's done!

These pictures were before the storm














I heard one report of 73 mph winds and one of 116 mph during this storm, however I don't know that I believe the 116 mph story. Someone also told me there was a funnel cloud spotted somewhere. It rained pretty hard, that was nice! When I left work, it smelled SO clean!
I LOVE thunderstorms!!!
